When volunteers or staff in regulated roles leave a club, clubs must inform Scottish Fencing.This is so that Scottish Fencing can inform Disclosure Scotland. Welfare Officers should ask their volunteer to contact Dislcosure Scotland as well so that their records can be delinked from Scottish Fencing.

Should someone become under consideration for listing or if they are barred from working with children Disclosure Scotland won’t inform Scottish Fencing if they know they are no longer volunteering or working at a Scottish Fencing club. As Scottish Fencing and clubs are only entitled to that information if someone is in a role with a club it is vital that clubs work with Scottish Fencing to ensure that we keep our records current.

When Welfare Officers request a Disclosure Check Scottish Fencing keep a record of who is working in which clubs and what roles they have in these clubs. When someone leaves please inform Scottish Fencing so we can update our records and advice volunteers to also contact Disclosure Scotland.

Volunteers with regulated roles in other clubs

Scottish Fencing will update our central list, remove the club they are no longer working at but keep them linked to Scottish Fencing with Disclosure Scotland. If that person is then barred or becomes under consideration for listing Scottish Fencing will only contact those clubs listed against their name.

Volunteers with no other regulated roles in clubs

If someone is leaving a regulated role in a club and they do not volunteer or work in any other clubs Scottish Fencing needs to de-link that person.

This means that Scottish Fencing will contact Disclosure Scotland to say this person no longer holds a regulated role within the sport of fencing.

We will also contact the individual and ask them to inform Disclosure Scotland they no longer hold a regulated role in fencing. The individual should also remove their PVG information from their sport80 account.

Scottish Fencing will advice British Fencing that this person can no longer have a regulated role within the sport and they will have to get a scheme update if they wish to rejoin either the coaches or welfare officers’ register.
